The Imp is a family show. It's a light-hearted show. Okay, it's a show
with a megalomaniac bent on evil, The Imp, and a long-suffering,
house-proud sceptic, Bob. But they are friends and you've got to put up
with your friends, no matter how crazy or stupid they are. The Imp is
constantly trying to unleash a terrifying evil upon the world. The only
good news is, he hasn't got a clue what he's doing. He thinks he can do
it with evil lasagne, tasteless decorating, homemade cake, dating,
crank calls and golf. To name but a few. He might be wide of the mark,
full of himself and a total failure but he's so cute, you just have to
laugh.
